I have a passion for ice cream. A passion that I believe started with my grandma. She always had some delicious ice cream in the freezer and we would talk over a mugful. She also taught me how to make key lime pie so I like to think she would have liked this particular combination.
Everyone who did try this ice cream loved it! And I was amazed at how much this tastes like key lime pie! It's uncanny! This creamy and tart combination is perfectly refreshing on a summer day and visions of the beach will dance in your head. Plus, it was stupid easy to make. Enjoy!
Key Lime Pie Ice CreamAdapted from Cooking Light
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tblsp key lime juice (I used Nellie and Joe's brand)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- dash of salt
- 1 14-oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 Tblsp butter
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Melt the butter and mix with the graham cracker crumbs. Mix together and press firmly onto a pan. It doesn't have to be perfect, you're going to be breaking it into pieces anyway. Bake at 350 until the edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely. Break into small pieces.
Mix the rest of the ingredients together and mix well. Pour into ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.Scoop half into container and sprinkle half the graham cracker pieces over the ice cream. Scoop the rest of the ice cream on top and sprinkle the rest of the graham cracker pieces on top. Freeze several hours until firm.
